Journalists and advocates will moderate interactive panel topics including the Future of the Farm Bill, Creating Resiliency in the Food and Agriculture System, Local and Regional Food Systems, and Global Food Security and Change. This popular event brings together over 35 expert speakers and panelists across all sectors of the food industry – business, government and elected officials, farmers, producers, chefs, unions, nonprofits and more.

Backstage interviews will be conducted on Facebook Live, while the entire event will also be broadcast on a free livestream at FoodTank.com. More than 15,000 people from around the world streamed the last Food Tank Summit in Chicago, while there were one million organic views on Facebook Live.

Following the Summit, all attendees are invited to a reception hosted by Restaurant Nora (America’s first certified organic restaurant). The Food Tank Summit dinner features a three-course dinner designed by the First Lady of organic dining, Nora Pouillon. For further information, including ticket purchase options to the summit, reception or dinner, can be found online here.

Last year’s second annual DC Food Tank Summit, brought together 70+ speakers for a completely sold-out day-time event (400 in-person attendees) from more than 25 states, and more than 30,100 livestream participants from more than 125 countries. This year, Food Tank will also hold inaugural summits in Boston and LA, while expanding globally in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The final 2017 summit will be held in Chicago, IL.
